Slim (just 6.9 millimeters thick), sleek, and efficient, the Huawei MateBook gives you the power of a laptop and the portability of a tablet. Powered by a 6th gen m7 Intel Core processor and Windows 10 Home, it offers speedy loading times and performance Read More
Just received this today... The 512GB drive, is split into two partitions, a 79.9GB OS volume and 396GB Data Volume. Problem is, it's not the 3.1 GHz turbo M7 processor inside that MD advertised. It's the slower 1.1Ghz M5-6Y54 processor inside.
Yea same. Only joined the drop cause it said it had the m7. And it seems that support doesn't work on the weekends cause the last response I got from them was Friday. So I guess we're waiting till at least tomorrow to hear what's gonna happen.
For anyone who owns one: How does it function as a laptop/computer? I'd be interested in using it with a seperate keyboard/mouse, but from what I can see, it doesn't have a stand to prop it up, so I would need to find something to handle that issue as well.
Thanks.
If I didn't recently pick one of these off of eBay, I'd grab one of these (I have the 256 Gb one). I ended up getting a flawless used one with the floppy (the weak magnets don't hold its position well so it's easy to knock flat) keyboard cover that I'm only using because it came with it. I may just end up using my Lenovo BT Trackpoint keyboard while on the go. Compared to the Surface Pro Type Cover, I think the Huawei's clickable pad is superior, but otherwise the keyboard on the SP is better IMO. I'm happy with the screen, though it's lower resolution than the SP, it seems brighter and more vivid than the Thinkpad X1 tablet I had previously. Yes, I like pen-enabled devices (had/have - Surface Book, Surface Pro OG, Lenovo Thinkpad 10, Lenovo Thinkpad X1 tablet, HP Note 8, Lenovo Yoga Book, Galaxy Note 7, Shield Tablet).
The build quality is impressive - it's thin and sturdy with a fast and effective fingerprint reader.
I did get it with the pen (but no Matedock) and an additional Wacom Bamboo Smart stylus that feels better in-hand. The Huawei Matepen appears to have a wide, blunt tip, but it's working well for me as a fine point in Autodesk Sketchbook and I remember reading a similar review saying the Matepen performed a bit better than it would appear at first.
The single USB-C port could be a limitation depending on how you work, but for a light on-the-go device, it hasn't been an issue yet. If you're going to need peripherals, card readers, etc., often then this might not be the best bet for you. Even with the Matedock or a USB-C hub/port replicator, it could get bulky/unwieldy and that would defeat the purpose of this thin/light device.
ZevDogDon't listen to the fool, 6th vs 7th is trash, but the 8th gen of processors especially mobile ones, just announced quad core mobile lineups for the U series.
delance26It does look to have reasonable specs at the price point. Some things to consider: Single USB 3.0 port. The connector is USB-C (good), but the port itself is only USB 3.0 (5.0 Gbit/s) instead of USB 3.1 Gen. 2 (10 Gbit/s) or Thunderbolt 3 (20 or 40 Gbit/s). It does have 802.11ac WiFi, so wireless connectivity shouldn't be an issue. The CPU is a couple generations old, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. The device appears optimized for battery life, not performance.
Overall, the device looks well-suited for those looking for a tablet to run Windows. For those looking for a budget laptop, this device might not be ideal.
NoroIt has 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity, but the sensor is pretty bad and generally doesn't seem to be designed for art, as the laser pointer and heavy weight show. I'd go with a different brand, maybe a Surface or Wacom companion/mobile studio. (or just walk with both a drawing tablet and a regular tablet/laptop)
